    Don’t get me wrong, I loved Disney as a kid—my great-aunt, Retta Scott Worcester, even broke the glass ceiling there as the first woman credited on a full-length Disney film (Bambi, 1942). But today’s Disney isn’t that Disney—it’s a greedy corporation bending the knee to authoritarianism.

    to extent that Bambi has any story at all, it's the deer walking around movie (life cycle of animals and their environments) but the real story isn't even happening onscreen. it's the story of human beings discovering how create life with animation and wondering how far they can push the medium
